The Fun Jungle
The business currently trading as ''The Fun Jungle'' is a children's soft play area and restaurant/coffee shop. To the first floor is a bowling alley and dessert shop. We are advised over the first 5 months of the year, the business had average weekly takings of £4,116, and of that £1,735 profit per week.

Business Details
We are advised a present turnover of £35,000 per month. But a more representative figure would be a financial overview showing an increase in business over the past financial trading year of 35-40%, this is expected to continue as the business solidifies its position in the market and becomes better known and established. Figures quoted do not take into consideration any revenue derived from games and other machine devices, these, if installed by a new operator, have the ability to significantly increase the total revenue of the business. Any financial reporting for Stars and Strikes on the upper floor of the building is not included and again this area of the business has the ability, to both increase business of The Fun Jungle Ashington and increase the overall revenue of the Business.

Lease Details
Part of the premises is let on an AST to a tattoo parlour at a rent of £600pcm (£7,200pa). The Fun Jungle is currently owner occupied and any interested party has the advandage of agreeing a new rental recharge with business.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
